Renewable energy production is intermittent and not always available when needed. The ideal storage system will provide an agricultural producer the option of either (a) using the energy stored, as needed, to power large loads such as irrigations pumps, or (b) selling excess or stored energy back to the utility during peak load. Lastly, an underlying requirement of iCAST's CAES pilot was to provide the agricultural community an affordable energy storage solution utilizing "off-the-shelf" parts - to make it fairly easy and cost-effective for the typical agricultural worker to commission, operate and repair the equipment., presented to the Colorado Department of Agriculture by International Center for Appropriate & Sustainable Technology., Online resource; title from PDF cover (viewed August 2018)

This study focuses on low head technologies which can be productively installed in existing constrained waterways that were originally intended for delivering irrigation water, a hydropower area that appears to be lacking in overall knowledge. A number of low cost, low head turbines have recently been introduced to the market, but are unknown to Colorado's water users. The purpose of this study is to provide relevant information to agriculturally-related water users on the opportunities that may exist to implement low head hydropower on their systems., prepared by Applegate Group, Inc.
